If they walked that way everyday, they should have known what time the train comes through and to be on the lookout for it.

THREEJAY2792 I so agree. Some people spend more time bashing WRAL for the way a story was written and condemning these two boys for being sophmores at their age, being on the tracks, and whatever else you can muster up. You have no idea what has gone on in their lives. Quit judging and learn to have some compassion for their grieving families.

Thanks I agree people should be compassionate. I am very heart broken for the families and friends of those two boys. They both were two of my daughters best friends. RIP Bobby and Alan you are loved dearly and missed so very much. You are gone but will not be forgotten.

My comments stands. They knew better. Hopefully others will one day learn to NOT WALK on train tracks. Use common sense if you have it. Don't be foolish and cost your own life. It was not FATE; it was being FOOLISH! PERIOD!!

That's pretty heartless to say to someone who is grieving. You may feel that way, but you don't have to say it to them and cause more pain.

My teens wear headphones all the time while running.If this isn't a shining example of the danger in doing that, I don't know what is. God gave us ears for a reason. Keeping the volume low enough so that you can hear oncoming danger would be a suggestion.

16 years old. They both knew not to be on the tracks, whether a train was coming or not. A train did come. My condolences to the family and many friends.

everybody listen to some common sense.... if yall dont know them then dont say a thing... i Knew both and although they had their flaws (like everybody else) they were two of the nicest most respectful people EVER. Bobby Naughton and Allan Peedin were two saints..... but as they say every sinner has a future, every saint has their past so before you stone somebody down.... look at yourself first.

I was a train watcher when I was a teen. My best friend and I used to watch trains entering and leaving Union Station in Washington DC. We always kept a watch in both directions and usually didn't get right on the tracks. In those days they still had GG 1 electric engines and they were very quiet - they could sneak up on you.

I heard it is quite common for people to get hit by a train while walking along the tracks wearing ear buds.
